Art Without Blood (Day 0 now available)

You are now the Afflicted, gifted to you by the Demon of Delusion. In seven days, the Parasight will consume your body and lays eggs of unblinking eyes in every orifice of your newfound decay. With the help of one of four newfound companions, you can look for a cure, or you can take their offers of demonic enlightenment.

Art Without Blood is a surreal horror visual novel about parasites, birth, and the reincarnation of self. You are an outsider to a new world, and you can never fully adapt.

What is currently available is Day 0. Witness the flesh death of your friend in the empty halls of an art museum, and feel the infection deep in your skin.

This is not a romance game, but it is a love story with Delusion themselves.

This is a psychological/surreal horror game that contains gore, body horror, violence and death, suggestive themes, and use of drugs and alcohol. This game is recommended for individuals who are 18 or older.

This game also contains screen shaking and flashing lights which may potentially trigger seizures for individuals with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.
